Ash Wednesday: Where is my place of wilderness?

There are many faith traditions and practices around Ash Wednesday.
And you may ask, “Why is it important?” Short answer, because it
starts off the Holy Season of Lent with meaning, purpose and
reflection. This year 2018, Ash Wednesday is February 14 and the
Lenten Season lasts through March 31. The Season lasts 40 days (not
counting Sundays), representing the 40 days Jesus spent in the
wilderness before starting His ministry. Our focus during this
Season should be a time of repentance, renewal, and motivation to
reach a new level of experiencing God’s grace. Jesus said it well
"Now after John was put in prison, Jesus came to Galilee, preaching
the gospel of the kingdom of God, and saying, “The time is
fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe
in the gospel.” Mark 1:14-15 (NKJV). Join us Tuesday, February 13,
2018, at 3:30 PM, PST,as we discuss the importance of Ash Wednesday
the start of the Lenten Season, a time to reflect and grow in the
wilderness and experience a higher-level of God's mercy and grace.
